Singapore Fringe Festival to return in 2027 after public fundraising campaign

Lim added that the festival is also seeking a title donor, or main corporate sponsor, to support future editions.

Founded in 2005, the Singapore Fringe Festival focuses on socially engaged art, with past works addressing issues such as mental health, discrimination, climate change and migrant worker experiences.

The festival also emphasises accessibility and inclusion, working with community groups and organisations such as theatre group Birds Migrant Theatre, disability and arts organisation Art:Dis, and bilingual arts collective Matter.Less.

“Most importantly, the Fringe Festival prioritises youthful creators with something they want to say through live art,” Lim told CNA Lifestyle. “These are aspects that we value because the arts should be accessible to as wide an audience as possible.”
